OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Comment by AllThings on February 2, 2017 at 11:20am: My daughter passed the running! She called last night and was so happy. She said that she will go to Battle Stations soon. I guess that she won't be a sailor until then. I am so proud of her for pushing through this. I worried that she would get too discouraged.Now I feel like I can stop holding my breath...

Comment by kamme on February 1, 2017 at 10:09am: Praying that your "I'm a sailor" call comes today!!!

Comment by Iris on January 31, 2017 at 11:49pm: I am praying for loved ones!!!

Comment by NavyMomBlessed on January 30, 2017 at 9:10pm: Not yet- will surely post when I do.

Comment by Iris on January 30, 2017 at 8:00pm: Any "I'm
A sailor calls from FIT?

Comment by lemonelephant on January 29, 2017 at 1:24am: Iris, you are very welcome. Once your Sailor is in the fleet, it will not matter that it took a little longer to get out of BC. No one will care.

Comment by Iris on January 28, 2017 at 6:18pm: Lemonelephant- thanks for that info. I know some of our recruits retested on Friday and we haven't heard anything.
They might've still passed but won't get to call until after battle stations. I'll hold on to whatever little hope I can!!!

Comment by lemonelephant on January 26, 2017 at 1:11am: You will only receive a call when his/her status changes. That means that s/he has passed the PFA and/or has had BST. Sometimes the recruit is able to call after passing the PFA before having BST and other times, the Sailor does not call until after BST. Some of those who get to call prior to BST are those who should be able to have PIR on time, but they are not always allowed to call until after BST and some have been at PIR in the balcony without having made a call so their loved ones did not know that they could have had time with them.

Comment by NavyMomBlessed on January 25, 2017 at 4:35pm: Kamme - thanks for confirming!

Comment by kamme on January 25, 2017 at 1:04pm: That is correct, no phone call means he didn't pass. I remember my sailor called to say he didn't pass, very emotional. I get teary eyed remembering. I'm praying for you and your Sailor. I hope you get your call today, for whatever reason Wednesday's seems to be the day they pass.
